The Fulvia coupe has a very characteristic design, created by Lancia's own design studio. The Fulvia coupe is a real compact sports coupe as only the Italians are able to create. Characteristics are the short wheelbase, the low weight, the compact dimensions, aluminium engine construction and great roadholding capabilities. The Fulvia coupe was available with four-cylinder V-engines. The engine was available with three cylinder capacities; 1216 cc., de 1298 cc. and 1584 cc.
